While it's a fact that Cabana loves dogs of all kinds, we have found ourselves gravitating toward spaniel breeds. Or maybe spaniels gravitate toward us? Whatever the reason, most of Cabana's favorite playmates are different types of spaniels.

Bodhi is a Blue Picardy Spaniel. He's lanky and rambunctious, and Cabana is rambunctious right back.

I'll get that ball from you yet!

Oh no you dint!

Jagger is a large liver and white English Springer Spaniel who lives around the block. On walks, Cabana always looks for him, wondering if he is tied up in his front yard so they can have a quick meet-and-greet.

You're tied up and I'm not! Nyah nyah!

Sweet Maggie is a black and white English Springer Spaniel and is one of our favorite "regulars" at the park.

Hey Cabana, did you hear the one about the smart dogthat got her owner to make her ground beef for breakfast?

Ha ha, where's the beef?! That's a good one, Maggie. You tell the best jokes!

Mindy, a tri-colored English Springer Spaniel, and Penny, a Brittany Spaniel, are also favorite "regulars".

We see Maggie, Mindy and Penny at the park at least 3-4 times a week. They are great pals with Cabana, and best of all, they love to run...

...and run and RUN! I don't know what we'd do without our spaniel friends. And I hope we never find out!

What a beautiful array of spaniels! When I think "spaniel" I often envision cocker spaniels, which are so much smaller. Cabana's pals, on the other hand, look like a good match to her both size- and energy-wise!
